Synopsis: Midget wrestling, virtual reality, and romance are all elements in a wild tale about Jimmy's first byline. The catalyst is Adam Burgess, who's found strangers living in his house, neighbors who no longer know him, and another man who has taken up the life he had been living. His explanation: aliens have delivered him from a parallel universe. The Gunmen's inclination to ignore him is offset, however, when they discover electrical implants in Burgess's head. After a false start requiring a bail-out by Yves, their investigation leads to a bombastic electronics retailer, and a love story that Jimmy insists should not be blinded by science. Upon further investigation, the Gunmen discover a government plot to rehabilitate criminal offenders.
